HOLBOX ISLAND

Holbox, one of the world's natural beauties, is located on the northern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the state of Quintana Roo, México and is part of the fauna and flora protection area called "Yum Balam", an ecological reserve. On the east side of the island is Cabo Catoche, and the island separated from the main land by the Laguna Yalahau. Holbox is 43 Km long and its white sand beaches are decorated with countless shells washed to the shore from the sea. The Hotel Faro Viejo is located on one of the best beaches of Isla Holbox.

Since ancient times, Isla Holbox has been known as a highly beautiful area and was used as a relaxing and resting place by the Maya. In the 16th century, the Spanish found Isla Holbox abandoned, but as many people before them, they were also amazed by its beauty.

The Island, has just one village, the tiny town of Holbox, where less than 1500 people live. It is a typical coastal village with sandy streets and wooden houses. Most of the people make their living fishing. Fishing in Holbox is excellent and it is very common to catch grouper, Bonitos and Pargos of great size. The island fishermen also dive to get lobsters and different types of shells.

The Laguna Yalahau is surrounded by mangroves, which in the past provided the ink sticks that were sent to Europe. On the verge of the lagoon is situated the famous "ojo de agua" which has provided fresh drinking water through the centuries. It is in this lagoon where the pink flamingoes, typical of the place, feed themselves. It is also frequent to see there dolphins and many fishes swimming around.

Isla de Pájaros (Bird Island) is located in the Laguna Yalahau.

Around 140 bird species which live in the Yucatan visit this Island during the year, and many of them are permanent inhabitants of the place. This Island is a protected natural area which can be reached only by boat and it is forbidden to set foot on it. These precautions now allow humans to visit the island and get close by without frightening its population.
